Growing older isn’t the problem. Outdated thinking about aging is.

ReSet is a powerful, practical guide for anyone in midlife and beyond who knows, deep down, that there must be more to this stage of life than slowing down and fading out. We are living longer, healthier, and more capable lives than any generation before us, yet our beliefs about aging haven’t kept pace. From subtle workplace bias to the quiet voice in our own heads telling us “I’m too old for that,” ageism shapes how we see ourselves and limits what we believe is possible.

ReSet challenges those assumptions and offers a new way forward, inviting you to rethink aging, reconnect with your strengths, and design a life filled with purpose, curiosity, and contribution—on your own terms.

Explore:
• Why aging is far more diverse and full of potential than we’ve been led to believe
• How ageism shows up in the world around us and in our own thinking
• The importance of self awareness, values, and mindset in shaping our future
• How to find purpose, meaning, and direction beyond traditional ideas of retirement
• Ways to stay visible, engaged, and relevant in a changing world.

This is not a book about slowing down. It’s about resetting old thinking and stepping fully into what’s next.

What experts in the field are saying about ReSet?

“We've been sold a destructive story about aging, and most of us have never thought to question it. ReSet offers a powerful antidote. It exposes the ageism in and around us and charts multiple paths to a happier, healthier future." Ashton Applewhite, author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism

“A powerful call to reimagine aging, ReSet challenges deeply ingrained ageist beliefs and illuminates incredible opportunities to embrace longevity with purpose, possibility and renewed vision for later life.” Tracey Gendron, author of Ageism Unmasked

“ReSet is a bracing riposte to the cult of youth. Blending insight and evidence with practical tips and tools, the authors show us how to lead long lives filled with purpose and possibility.” Carl Honoré, author of Bolder

“As our lives stretch toward 100, we urgently need new maps for the decades beyond midlife.
ReSet is a welcome antidote to internalized ageism, and a timely reminder that longer lives mean longer possibilities.” Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, CEO of 20-first, Host of 4-Quarter Lives podcast

“The authors deliver a vital message: in order to ‘reset’ your goals and strategies for living a quality elderhood … it’s important to recognize the remarkable truths about getting older as well as the debilitating, ageist myths that can get in your way.” Jeanette Leardi, gerontologist and author of Aging Sideways: Changing Our Perspectives on Getting Older

“ReSet is the definitive book for changing the way we think about aging and making the most out of the second half of life.” Richard Eisenberg, contributing writer to magazines MarketWatch, People, Kiplinger, AARP, and Stanford Center on Longevity

"The Super Age made the demographic case for why aging matters. ReSet makes it personal. With insight, rigor, and genuine warmth, the authors offer something rare: actionable guidance for individuals ready to write the next chapter of their lives on their own terms." Bradley Schurman, author of The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny

Droit de rétractation

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
